Are you trying to argue that with monereo you can only use one receiving address?

Or you're just saying that each sender can see the address they are sending too?

Wait, isn't Bitcoin and literally everything else the same?

Like sure you can use a QR code but that QR code is just the QR code version of your wallet address.

Anyway what's the issue with people who send you money knowing your wallet address? I don't really see the issue

I'm just saying each sender can see the address they are sending to and that is bad for receiver privacy.

No, the lightning network is different. Invoices do not reveal what node or channel received the money. This is much better for receiver privacy.

> what's the issue with people who send you money knowing your wallet address?

Knowing the recipient's address gives the sender something to watch on the blockchain to see what happens next. Does the address show up in a subsequent transaction? Does it sit there unmoved for 5 years? All of that is useful info, sometimes incriminating info, and monero gives the sender that info for free. Lightning protects that info -- it protects receiver privacy way better than monero.

Guess what. If I give you a Bitcoin main-net address you can track that forever unless I send it through a mixer and pay for that.

the address you see when sending coins never appears on the blockchain. you will not be able to send coins to an address and look for subsequent transactions on the blockchain.

I don't understand why you are so invested in convincing people that monero works how you described. it doesn't take much effort to read and understand the documentation. either you didn't do this cursory research or you are lying intentionally.
